Pros

Great benefits package and affordable insurance, matching 401k, etc

Cons

It’s bogged down by hierarchies of people who care more about their corner office than good work or efficiency. If you work with the right people you’ll never leave, if you get saddled with the beasts you’ll notice how everyone leaves around them within 2-3 years. But HR and management are about protecting those higher up regardless of the quality of their work.
